Cleanup Procedure 



Remarks 

 18 January 1971 

 San Francisco, CA 

 Bunker -C 

 20,000 barrels 



Tankers collided in San Francisco Bay 

 About 50 miles of shoreline contaminated. 



About 10 miles of sand beaches were cleaned 

 using road graders and scrapers. Mechanical 

 equipment removed oil quickly and efficiently. 

 Six thousand cubic yards of material were 

 removed from a single 5 -mile stretch of sandy 

 beach. Clean straw free of oil applied at sea, 

 washed ashore and constituted a second form of 

 contamination. Manual recovery was used on 

 rocky beaches, tide pools, and rock outcroppings .
